C91.3 (call sign 2MAC) is a commercial radio station broadcasting on the FM band at a frequency of 91.3 MHz to the Macarthur region of New South Wales in Australia. This area takes in the major centres of Campbelltown and Camden. The station is owned by WIN Corporation, the parent company of WIN Television. Due to government regulations, it can only broadcast at 1 kW ERP so as to limit its broadcast area, but because the station presently broadcasts at only .6 KW, it is only broadcast in a vertical polarisation. However, in future when its transmission tower's height is doubled, the horizontal polarisation will be added with power wound up to the full 1 KW. This situation currently results in less than adequate coverage for Campbelltown.
Many people feel that the station filled the gap left by the departure of Edge 96.1 and WSFM from Western Sydney studios. Studios for both supposed Western Sydney stations are now in North Ryde. C91.3 is the only commercial station left truly broadcasting from Western Sydney studios.
